Alyson Pacheco, a Senior Manager of HR Operations at Brown-Forman, is the kind of professional who effortlessly juggles spreadsheets and strategy while simultaneously making friends with every cat on the internet. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, she has spent over 15 years at Brown-Forman honing her expertise in compensation operations and HR analytics—skills that could probably solve world hunger if only applied to meal-planning.

Graduating from Bellarmine University with a degree in Business Administration (and notably a star member of the Bowling Team), Alyson has transformed herself into a Workday Super User—a title that sounds impressive enough to require a cape. Her recent role involves leading annual compensation processes and managing an elite team of analysts dedicated to creating world-class HR strategies.

When she’s not busy analyzing data or crafting compelling dashboards that make even Excel weep with envy, Alyson is an avid volunteer and certified People Analytics Masterclass graduate—because why settle for just being good when you can be exceptional? With her tongue-in-cheek charm and unparalleled work ethic, Alyson continues to innovate at Brown-Forman while ensuring everyone around her feels included—whether they’re colleagues or those adorable cats she can’t resist petting during office Zoom calls.
